Marquita Pring Goes Swimsuit Shopping (PHOTO)

The Cut took "curvy" model Marquita Pring shopping for swimsuits -- yes, that's right, beach season is coming soon and can be a stylish, equal-opportunity activity, as many of you normal-sized ladies know.

Marquita and co. hit a handful of Manhattan stores. Here's what the Topshop team picked out for her to wear in the sun. And for the rest of the looks, head over to The Cut.

Lose the hat, lose the bag, lose the leggings. THEN you have a nice outfit. But this? Not even close. Way too uncoordinated and thrown together looking.

That is the most uncoordinated outfit I have evern seen. It looks like she picked each piece at a different thrift store. I don't think I can call that outfit 'fashionable."

This woman is not curvy. Yea you don't have to be considered "obese" to be curvy but skinny with a bra size bigger than an A cup doesn't mean you're curvy.

Those prices are outrageous. Anyone who would pay that much for those clothes should be checked for brain damage. They give mentally challanged people a bad name. Anyway, why are you even going to the beach if you're going to cover up from the top of your head to the bottoms of your feet?

Learn to post and not look like an idiot... as much of an idiot as this woman looks like. It appears her wardrobe was chosen by a seven year old. I will also point out that many people commenting here seem to be thinking "curvy" means "obese."

Terrible outfit. Terrible photo. Terrible pose. Beautiful girl. Sad that they couldn't do better than this.

As stunning as she is... WTF is up with this outfit. I think gay men ruin fashion... Hetero men should style models...then again they would all be naked wearing leaves ROFL

Curvey as in big boobs? She looks like a skinny heathy girl. That outfit is silly and overpriced.

How can you spend almost $500.00 on a beach outfit and still look that bad?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Can I make a wild guess that you're about 14 years old?

She looks like she's arching her back and sticking out her stomach. What's up with that? THAT"s why it looks bad. (And yes, don't wear leggings to the beach.)
